Hi everyone, new here and pushing forty hoping for a career change into the digital marketing world. Have passed three exams so far social media marketing, social media marking 2 and digital marketing.
where will I find maybe volunteer work or work as a novice for someone my age as I suppose junior positions will be kept for people of a younger age. thanks
Hey @KNinnis, thank you for posting in our Community!
Your dedication is admirable. Don’t let age hold you back. Look into local nonprofits, startups, or our job listing board here for volunteer or entry-level opportunities. Your certifications speak volumes about your readiness.
Best of luck!
Pam
Thanks Pam for the lovely words of encouragement I will try out your advice
Hi @KNinnis I’ve been through quite a few career changes (and recently turned 40), although a couple of years ago I took a part-time freelance role that might’ve been considered a junior role so I could level up on a few things. While it was a step back at the time, it’s led to two amazing opportunities that I wouldn’t have had without it.
Part-time or freelance is a great way to get hands-on experience, even if the pay isn’t where it needs to be long-term, it could be a nice earn a little extra on top of what you’re doing currently and help progress you further toward your goal.
Best of luck with your journey, happy to connect if you have questions along the way!
